Creation Moment 3/6/2023 - Darwinians and their new found Political Power in the 1920's

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked....
Jeremiah 17:9
 
"Beginning in the 1920s, many thousands of people in the United
States were sterilized against their will and without their consent, to prevent ‘undesirable breeding’. 
Over 8,000 of these procedures took place at a major center to which such ‘undesirables’ were sent, in Lynchburg, Virginia.
The victims included some with various degrees of mental retardation; many were simply there because they had been abandoned as a result of broken homes or had suffered some other social misfortune. 
They were lied to routinely, being told that it was something ‘for their own good’ or ‘for their health’....... the entire effort was based upon the notion of eugenics. The eugenics movement was started by Sir Francis Galton (a cousin of Charles Darwin), who wanted to encourage ‘survival of the fittest’ within human society
The ‘humane’ way to do this was by compulsory sterilization of those deemed ‘unfit’. The idea seduced ‘social reformers from the right and the left’—among them George Bernard Shaw, and Winston Churchill.  
The Lynchburg doctor who was responsible for most of the sterilizations in his own town was convinced that what he was doing was for the ‘scientific good’ of society.  
As a dedicated Darwinian, notions of absolute right and wrong were old-fashioned obstacles to the greater good of the ‘herd’.  
Needing a legal cover for his actions in the face of the human rights
meant to be guaranteed in the (creation-based) U.S. Constitution, he became enamored with model legislation prepared by a leading U.S. evolutionary biologist, Dr Harry Laughlin.
Laughlin’s law called for compulsory sterilization of not only the ‘feeble-minded’, but also the blind, drug addicts, sufferers from TB and syphilis, epileptics, paupers, the deaf and the homeless. 
Since these people were, it was claimed, obviously the victims of ‘bad genes’, the law was overtly aimed at maintaining the ‘racial purity of the white race’ by preventing the further ‘breeding’ of those whose offspring would ‘drag down’ this race.....a young lady was chosen who had been targeted for sterilization because there had allegedly been ‘three generations of feeble-mindedness’ in her family. Her lawyer challenged the Laughlin law all the way to the Supreme Court. However, far from being her champion, he was in reality one of those heavily involved in the formulation of these eugenics policies!
Unfortunately also for the young lady, the presiding judge of the Supreme Court hearing this case in 1924 was Oliver Wendell Holmes, an influential Darwinist who laid the legislative foundation for many of the advances of secular humanism in the United States. Not surprisingly, Holmes declared the law constitutional. It was acceptable for the state to compel the sterilization of those who were deemed ‘socially inadequate’." CEH
